It looks as if the fight between W. S. Nichols and the town of Stratford relative to the possession of leased property on Long Beach would be amicably settled. Mr. Nichols name is the only one that has ap- peared as defendant in the case, but it may be we'll to state that he is acting in the inter est of capitalists who represent half 8 million of dollars and had Stratford continued the fight they would have found it costly affair. They have called town meeting for May 16 to act upon the Long Beach matter and at the time it is expected that matters will be satisfactorily adjusted.-Bridgeport News.

sipelas every spring and fall for
eleven years, continuing for about
two months each attack. 1t affect
ed the whole skin surface with
redness, thickening of the skin

eruption. The physicians failed
to relieve or arrest it, but the case
grew worse every year for eleven
years.

spells l commenced the use Of
Swift's Specific. In few days it
brought out profuse pustula
eruption, which in a few days
passed away, leaving the child
perfectly well, and she has not

disease since, now three years ago,
and has been in perfect health.
Have given her a few bottles every
every spring and fall, and she has
had no return of the disease.

We dislike to criticise the actions
of the City Council. Goodness
knows there are enough kickers
who know better how to run the
city than any body. But we
doubt the wisdom of the action
taken last Tuesday night looking
to the removal Of the steel water
pipe from the bridge. On several
occasions North Frankfort would
have been without water and liable
to the disaster Of a large fire but
for the pipe in question. Let it
stay, Of course only using it when
absolutely necessary.
